mjzee Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Reggae king Bob Marley has finally hit the big time, joining an exclusive club of superstars with a species named after them. A marine biologist has discovered and named a small parasitic crustacean Gnathia marleyi. You read that right: a crustacean, not a Crustafarian. "I named this species, which is truly a natural wonder, after Marley because of my respect and admiration for Marley's music," the discoverer, Paul Sikkel, an assistant professor in marine biology at Arkansas State University, said. "Plus, this species is as uniquely Caribbean as was Marley." More here: Fox News Quote
